Carlton superstar Charlie Curnow left training early on Saturday, as intrigue builds over his availability for the start of the season.
The two-time Coleman medallist came off the track midway through the clubโs open session, missing the second phase of match simulation.
Curnow was slated to take part in only half the session though itโs unclear if he has picked up a fresh injury.

Curnow rejoined the main group this week after undergoing two operations on his ankle and knee during the off-season, the latter taking place in December.
He had impressed the 2000-strong crowd at Ikon Park with his strong marking in the first part of match practice, and also ran at full tilt in the running drills.

His interrupted preparation leaves him running out of time to be ready for the Bluesโ practice games, starting with a match simulation against St Kilda on Saturday week.
The Blues kick off their home and away season against last seasonโs wooden spooner Richmond on March 13.
Star midfielder Adam Cerra was given clearance to miss the session as he is getting married on Saturday.
Defender Jordan Boyd also did not take part. The club said he is on a modified program.
